Centennial Hills Park is a 120-acre municipal park located in the northwest Las Vegas valley. The facility features expansive grassy meadows, a series of interconnected ponds, and dedicated water play areas for children. Recreational infrastructure includes two expansive dog parks segregated by size, multiple playgrounds, and lighted sports fields. An amphitheater serves as a venue for outdoor concerts and community theater events. The park incorporates significant walking paths that weave throughout the landscape and around the water features. It is situated adjacent to the Centennial Hills Community Center and Library. The site utilizes xeriscaping in peripheral areas to align with the local desert climate.
